Engine Rebuild: 5.0 GL Marine Gas - Turning a Pile into Performance

 Here's the start of one of our typical marine gas engine rebuilds.  We'll be walking you through the rebuild step by step and updating you with pictures along the way.

A customer of ours came in yesterday to drop off his 5.0 GL marine gas engine.  


Don't mind the grass chunks!
I think he drug it through his front yard to get it into the back of his truck.


The first step in all our rebuilds is to take an inventory of the parts the customer brought in. This way we know exactly what's here, what's missing and what we will and won't need to order to complete the build. We can also keep track of each customer's property this way.


The next step is cleaning and prepping the block and parts.


  Today we'll be using our glass bead sand blaster, steel abarator, Hotsy ( a steam cleaner) along with solvent and ultrasonic cleaners to get all that rust and crust off.


We'll be back soon with more updates!
